| I sail up to St. Augustine, FL where's there's four to
| five feet of tide, go to my favorite sandbar back in the
| bay there and ground the boat at high tide. Then it's
| a matter of letting the tide go out and making sure the
| boat leans towards the high side of the bar. Then it's
| out with the sandpaper soon as the bottom dries and
| two or three coats of paint go on the side that's showing
| nicely.
|
| Then when the tide comes back up it's a matter of turning
| the boat around and leaning it the other way and painting
| the other side. The only place that cannot be painted this
| way is the very bottom of the keel. That can be done
| underwater though the paint never really dries very good
| this way.

| Sounds like a good deal Neal... how do you manage to
| get it up on blocks to paint the bottom without a lift?

| about 60 cents US you are practically getting a haulout
| for nothing.
|
| But, guess what? I pay NOTHING for my water and
| electricity. I can step and unstep my own mast without
| the help of a crane. I can careen and paint my bottom
| without the help of a yard.

| | 4K would be about right for a 40 footer at a Brewer's yard. $44
per
| foot
| for storage,
| | $16/f + materials for shrink, $10/f to leave mast in, more to
unrig
| and
| store.
| | Decommissioning engine, genset, etc. It adds up fast when you go
| first
| class.

| | USCG doc's, a
| | copy of my drivers license so when you think it's someone elses,
and
| even
| | take you for a sail, that should cover the $4k for the storage.

| | 4K for storage. Even at Capri that would be a 65 foot boat. Now
we
| know
| you
| | don't have a boat.
